Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves inserting fine needles at strategic points to restore energy flow and address physical, mental, and emotional imbalances. This non-invasive technique promotes natural healing, reduces pain, and enhances overall well-being by stimulating the body's self-regulating mechanisms. Patients report immediate relief from chronic conditions like insomnia, anxiety, and autoimmune disorders through regular sessions.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
Custom herbal formulas are tailored to individual diagnoses using pulse, tongue, and symptom analysis. These remedies, derived from the worlds most sophisticated herbal system, target root causes of ailments like digestive disorders and hormonal imbalances. Patients receive personalized prescriptions in forms like teas, granules, or capsules to complement acupuncture and functional medicine protocols.
Functional Medicine
Functional medicine uses lab testing and nutritional interventions to address chronic illnesses at their source. By integrating dietary changes, supplements, and Western diagnostics, we identify and correct systemic imbalances, such as adrenal fatigue or gut dysbiosis, that traditional treatments often overlook. This approach empowers long-term wellness without reliance on pharmaceuticals.
Transformation Coaching
Transformational coaching guides patients to recognize how beliefs and emotions impact physical health. Through one-on-one sessions, we address mental blocks, stress, and spiritual disconnection to foster resilience. This service complements acupuncture and herbal therapy, creating sustainable shifts in both psychological and physiological well-being.
Telemedicine Consultations
Telemedicine allows global access to our services, offering virtual assessments, herbal prescriptions, and functional medicine guidance. Ideal for patients with mobility challenges or those in underserved regions, this service includes follow-up support and lab testing assistance, ensuring continuity of care regardless of location.

Thank you Jason for getting me in promptly to deal with a bronchial issue before it developed into full blown Bronchitis. As always, I find Jason to be very knowledgeable and has gotten me through many health issues through the years that I've seen him since 2003.

I have tried many acupuncture practitioners in the past but never liked it because I thought it was too painful. But Jason's technique is virtually painless. I find the sessions to be very helpful and I highly recommend him because he also provides other helpful services.
